Enjoyable Round

My wife and I enjoyed our round at Rocky Bayou. The course was in good shape for this time of the year (FEB). Several holed are challenging, but overall it is a fun layout with sand and water coming into play on a number of holes.

Not your typical Florida Course

This course is not your average Florida course, there are many elevation changes and different shots required. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the area.

Nice course

Very nice layout to this course. Was not prime condition but it’s February too. Nice tree line on fairways. Not the typical Florida course, rolling and the greens also have undulating surface. Would love to play in summer.

NO two holes are the same. GReat elevation changes to go along with a very interesting layout. We were paired with two first timers, and they enjoyed everything about the course.

Winter golf

The greens were slow and bumpy, needed mowing. Understand it is Feb. and weather here can be up and down. Will play again because it is a nice challenge the number 1 and 2 handicap holes will test your skills.

Niceville's Gem

Supremely friendly staff. Played on an extremely busy day (WED.). On Hole-10, Pro Shop Staff came around and made some adjustments to speed up play. He was utterly nice about it. I usually play 18-holes in 3-hrs. I played Rocky Bayou in 4-hr. Greens in beautiful condition. Course has challenges-- plenty of dog legs, hills. Nothing boring about the architecture here. Extremely windy day. First time playing. Lots of water hazards, which I like. All in all, a great value and an exciting course.
